During a recent government meeting, community members expressed strong support for a new development project, highlighting its thoughtful design and community engagement. Residents praised the project's plans, with one speaker noting the \"exquisite\" design and the importance of maintaining a one-to-one ratio for underground resident parking. Concerns were raised about potential parking losses for nearby Alberta Terrace, particularly for senior residents.
Another speaker, Craig Kelly, a former city councilor and chair of the North Cambridge Stabilization Committee, commended the project's developers for their responsiveness to neighborhood concerns and the enthusiasm surrounding the initiative. He emphasized that the plans effectively address the challenges of the site while also enhancing the potential for a more vibrant Massachusetts Avenue.
The meeting underscored a collaborative effort between the city and residents, with calls for the planning board to approve the necessary special permits to move the project forward. Community members expressed eagerness for the project's completion, anticipating it will significantly benefit the neighborhood.
